Prevent Athlete's Foot— Keep Feet Dry and Clean

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS cing i many harbingers of spring, one of the most persistently °

Almost every adult gives refuge to the Warm weather, exercise, and in-

the germ to renewed and discom-’

It is moisture—rather than contact with other people in public

swimming pools, clubs, and gymnasiums—that provides ideal conditions for a figutishing case of athlete’s foot. = 3 Athlete's foot thrives in moisture and dead skin. Therefore, Allit is of the greatest importarice to take measures for keeping the feet as clean of dead skin and nail debris as pos- pe » sible, and for Dr. Masters drying between the toes and under them.

Rubbing ‘alcohol or 1 “per cent tincture of iodine are Soon good daily treatment for cleansing and cutting down on perspiration. "A liberal sprinkling of talcum powder on the feet and in the stockings and shoes tends to cut down on dampness, and it is of particular caution to wipe the toes very carefully after bathing.

Wear Cotton Hose

People whose feet perspire more than those of the average person would do well to place small wads of lamb’s wool between offending toes.

Cotton hosiery offers the besé absorption and ventilation, and the shoes should be roomy and preferably perforated.

Attempts to kill the fungus by treating the shoes to a formaldehyde bath or ultra-violet ray are futile, since immediate reinfection takes place when feet and shoes. meet again. : Preventive treatment is infinitely best for most ordinary manifestations of athlete’s foot— i. e., small cracks or tiny blisters. Swelling, redness, marked blisty ering, and itching, which at- . company advanced stages of the irritation from the fungus may . be relieved by a twice-daily halfhour soaking of the feet in potassium permanganate solution. The solution is made by dissolving one five-grain tablet of po-

a

tassium permanganate in 1% quarts of 'cold tap water. Calomine lotion before bedtime and frequent changes of hosiery also help to control and soothe the annoyance. The uniformed use of drugs and salves available on the commercial market is likely to aggravate athlete’s foot, and many people are sensitive to some of the ingredients of the popular medicaments. Relapse is always imminent, and troublesome though the routine for controlling the infection may seem adherence to it is the only recommendable procedure. If the infection becomes scaly, and the skin (usually of the soles) thickened, lotions or footbaths are less effective than salves. But the latter should be prescribed by the physician, and it should be borne in mind that not every eruption on the feet is so simple a thing as athlete's foot.

PETIT ‘REFUSES’

Demands ‘Understanding’ On Party Responsibility

For Enforcement.

By NOBLE REED

Exposure of wide-open gambling conditions in Marion county this

among Republican party leaders. Some of the party boys who have

the 1944 elections hands down and hope to retain power here for the

the gambling situation will have on the voters. Some of them were inclined to put most of the blame on Sheriff Otto Petit and told him so yesterday. The sheriff has said consistently that he’ll conduct no big anti-gambling shows for the gal-. leries, that he will merely make arrests on proper affidavits.

Petit Irked

Visibly irked over the criticism, Mr. Petit stalked into the office of Mayor Tyndall to have an understanding on party responsibilities in regard to law enforcement. “I'm tired of taking all the ‘heat’ for the whole Republican party . . if. I'm voted out of office at the end of my two-year term, I'll drag the rest of the party out with me,” declared the ‘sheriff while he was waiting to see the mayor. Meanwhile, Police Chief Becker sat across the street proclaiming that all gambling in his city bailiwick has been wiped out by recent wholesale raids. Some of the party leaders were not so sure of this, pointing to several big dice games and poker systems operating nightly in the downtown area. It was rapidly bringing a new climax to the old feud between the city hall G. O. P. faction and the regular party organization, this »| time luring Mr. Petit into the reg-

‘ular organization fold.

Previously, Mr. Petit had been identified with city hall's new Republican victory committee, set up to seize control of the party machinery.

Hold Conferences

Party leaders were in a series of conferences yesterday and last night, trying to smooth the squabbling and quiet things down. Prosecutor Sherwood Blue, center of the law enforcement feud with the city administration three months ago, has been conspiciously in the background in the gambling expose this week. He won't say what he intends to do about it but ’tis rumored that within the next few days the prosecutor’s office might be in the headlines again. Some gambling interests have been known to approach attaches of Mr. Blue’s office for information, but none of them is believed to have gotten much satisfaction. The newest report on bingo operation was that a large-scale game was held last night at Five Points on Road 29 near Troy ave. southeast of the city. Sky Harbor, scene of recent big bingo operations, was closed last night and plans for tonight were uncertain.

MOTHER OFFERS HER PEACE PLAN

4 Sons in Service Prompts Suggestion for Ending

European War.

An Indianapolis mother with four sons in the service has sent a suggestion to Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) which she believes will bring an end to the war. “Mrs. W. A. Walker, 6607 Ferguson st., suggested that Pope Pius XII

appeal to the people of Germany to substitute the Duke of Windsor for Hitler, and to the people of Italy to replace Mussolini with Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York. She said in a letter: “Since the lives of so many of our boys are at stake in these last desperate days of struggle, and) since the race is not always to She swift nor the battle to the strong, I make bold to make a suggestion which, if acted upon, might bring to a bloodless end this terrible season of bloodshed.

Sons Are “Real Reason”

“If an appeal could be made to the pope to appeal in turn to the people of Germany to substitute the Duke of Windsor, a reasonable and desirable link between the German and English peoples, for their present fuehrer, and a like appeal be made to the people of Italy to substittue our own and their own Fiorello La Guardia for Benito Mussolini, it might go a long way toward bringing about a peaceful solution to this present war. “With due respect to Josef Stalin I personaily would feel far safer to know that Edward and Fiorello were sitting in the peace conference as our own allies. We could deal with Japan more adequately. “My real reason for my presumption in making this suggestion is four sons in service and, through them, my sympathy and concern for other parents.”

Her sons in service are Thomas, in England; John, recently commissioned a second lieutenant at San Angelo, Tex.; William, aviation cadet now in Texas and waiting assignment, and Paul J. in the intel-

STRIKE BILL IN HOOSIERS’ LAP

Harness in n Fine Fettle as He Watches House Pass His Amendments.

Times Special WASHINGTON, June 5. — Two Hoosiers who may face each other on the stump in the 1944 senatorial contest — Senator Frederick Van-

Nuys, Democrat, and Rep. Forest A. Harnesy, Republican, today are facing each other as conferees on the controversial Smith-Connally anti-strike bill. Mr. Harness was in high fettle when ~ he saw his amendments adopted by the house yesterday and the bill passed, 231 to 141.. But much of the credit for the shape they were in went to the wily Rep. Howard W. Smith (D. Va.). Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.) was the go-between bringing the Smith-Harness forces together. All of this caused Rep. Charles M. La Follette, Evansville Republican, to join the two Hoosier Democrats, Reps. Louis Ludlow and Ray J. Madden, and vote against the measure as finally drawn.

La Follette Aroused

The red-haired independent: Mr. La Follette issued a scathing denunciation of the bill as passed and charged that Mr. Smith had made

a sucker of the G. O. P. “The Harness amendment enunciated certain long-range principles with which I am in agreement,” Mr. LaFollette said. “These are the °‘cooling-off’ period and secret strike ballot, financial reports and the theory that a labor leader has no right to use an individual member's funds to support the leader’s personal candidate for political office. “But, under the guise of meeting an emergency which the president's labor - policies created, the Democratic party, represented ‘by Mr. Smith, tacked on to the Harness proposals certain typical Smith anti-labor provisions which will not solve this strike situation and which I refuse\to accept as the solution to an emergency created by the president himself.

Foresees Veto

“The president has never asked for the Smith legislation and if it passes the senate he will veto it. He has arrogated to himself the power to solve all questions without d regard for congressional help. I refuse to be the cat's paw for Mr. Smith and his kind of Democrats and then have the president veto the legislation with the assertion that he never asked for it and it was unnecessary. “The long-range provisions of the Harness proposal cannot be intelligently enacted in two days’ debate on the house floor, laudable as are their aims, the Democratic Smith provisions are utterly untenable. “Since the president has the power to handle this strike situation, since he created it and it is his baby—I refuse to see why the Republican party should be made the .cat’'s paw for Mr. Smith and the subject of sarcastic ridicule in a presidential veto message.” Reps. Halleck, Harness, Robert A. Grant, Gerald W. Landis and Raymond S. Springer were the Republicans voting for it. Republicans absent or not voting were Reps. George W. Gillie, Noble J. Johnson and Earl Wilson.

ISLAND TO GET FOOD WASHINGTON, June 5 (U, P).

Prisoners of war will be interned permanently at Camp Atterbury, according to a war department announcement.

Several thousand already are confined there. They are Italians, believed to have been taken in North Africa and are part of more than 36,000 prisoners held in 21 prison camps in the United States. The exact number held at Camp Atterbury was not disclosed.

Camp Atterbury Is Selected As Permanent War Prison

Col. Welton M. Modiste, the camp

commander, also is in charge of the prison sector. Like other typical prison camps, Atterbury has a stockade inclosed by double-barred wire fence. The stockade is divided into three units, edch containing hut shelters, mess halls and other installations. Prisoners are organized into company and battalion units. Those with specialized skills are used at their trades in restricted capacities. Others are assigned to road building, farming and other tasks.

hundred and twenty Soviet longTange bombers, the largest Russian air fleet ever sent against a single objective, turned the German-held bastion of Orel on the south-central front into a mass of flames Thursgay night, it was announced today. Returning pilots reported that fires were visible for 26 miles. Railway trains, munitions depots and fuel dumps were hit with demolition bombs and terrific explositions were observed, a special Soviet communique said. Only one plane was lost. : Orel was the only German anchor point on the southern front to hold out in the face of the big Russian winter offensive. Red army troops are on three sides of the cjty.

Orel, Stronghold of Nazis, Set Afire in Big Russ Raid

MOSCOW, June 5 (U. P.).—Five|

The Orel raid provided a Russian answer to the five mass raids directed by 500 German planes against Kursk Wednesday. In land fighting, Russian troops seized a fortified height on the Smolensk front today after overwhelming the enemy’s defense, the mid-day communique reported. Prisoners and booty were taken. (A German broadcast said the Russians had abandoned temporarily their attacks on the axis bridgehead in the northwest Caucasus after losing 120 tanks and 104 planes in three days without gaining any ground. The broadcast added, however, that the Russians were rushing up reinforcements to renew their assault.)

ELMER WHEELER T0 BE ORDAINED

The Rev. Elmer Wheeler, pianist, teacher and Indianapolis native, will be ordained with ceremonies authorized by the Baptist denomination Tuesday at 7:30 p. m. in the Crooked Creek Baptist church. Dr. Clive McGuire, executive secretary of the Indianapolis Baptist association, will direct the ordaining prayer and the laying on of hands and Dr. George O‘Donnell, pastor of the Central. Baptist church, will preach the sermon. The charge to the candidate will be delivered by Dr. L. C. Trent of the Woodruff Place Baptist church and the charge to the church by Dr. J. M.
